How is Havoc Rate calculated?

This was the second disappointment ending in a score of 38-27 in MSU football history. Last time this occurred was on 10/24/2020 home against Rutgers.

Turns out MSU has some very old and lopsided games, but here's the best I could do with Spartygami!

I pulled all the data from Winsipedia in a pretty scuffed way, so if anything seems wrong, please feel free to reach out so we can perfect it!

Are they Canadian geese? If so, it's your duty, as an American, to drive those illegal birds out!

Two players. 10 fish. 80 cards. Get ready for Chaos Vault: Dandân, a complete Forgetful Fish experience featuring brand new Dandân card art.

This image depicts six cards, two at the top and four on the bottom. From left to right:

"Dandân". Two mana, both Blue. Creature- Fish. Rare rarity.
Art: The art depicts an orange koi fish with white spots swimming underneath lilypads. It is swimming to the upper right of the card.
Rules text: This creature can't attack unless defending player controls an Island. When you control no Islands, sacrifice this creature. Power four, Toughness one.
Flavor text: Forget bait, forget hooks, forget line, forget troubles, and enjoy being on the water while the fish swim around.

"Dandân". Two mana, both Blue. Creature- Fish. Rare rarity.
Art: The art depicts a white koi fish with orange spots swimming underneath lilypads. It is swimming towards the lower left of the card.
Rules text: This creature can't attack unless defending player controls an Island. When you control no Islands, sacrifice this creature. Power four, Toughness one.
Flavor text: Remember friends, remember family, remember good times, and reawaken when it's time to reel in dinner.

"Accumulated Knowledge". One mana, one Blue. Instant.
Art: The art depicts a gathering of catfish peeking up out of the water. The catfish are all blue with pink squiggly lines and a white cap.
Rules text: Draw a card, then draw cards equal to the number of cards named Accumulated knowledge in all graveyards.
Flavor text: Building one's intelligence is like fishing for trouble. It's largely up to you whether a catch is made.

"Magical Hack". One Blue mana. Instant.
Art: The art depicts a body of water. A large mountain is protruding from the waters surface and an elk with two calfs are at the base of the mountain.
Rules text: Change the text of target spell or permanent by replacing all instances of one basic land type with another.
Flavor text: Tired of her view from her cabin window, the wizard snapped her fingers, drew the curtain, and went to bed. In the morning it was perfect.

"Memory Lapse". One Blue mana. Instant.
Art: The art depicts a gray woman with gray flowing hair. Her hair and a part of her head have transformed into little gray and orange fish. The woman looks almost bewildered.
Rules text: Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, put it on top of its owner's library instead of into that player's graveyard.
Flavor text: Each scale glitters, a momentary distraction from everythign that matters.

"Mystic Sanctuary". Land - Island
Art: The art depicts three seals relaxing on a large rock. Surrounding them are squawking gulls.
Rules text: This land enters tapped unless you control three or more other Islands. When this land enters untapped, you may put target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard on top of your library.

Last night's very late game was the 2nd time an MSU game had a score of 45-31.

Last time was MSU vs Purdue in 2014 for a Spartan win in West Lafayette.

In bed and will likely be asleep by the end of the first so I can survive a long run tomorrow morning. Best of luck to all those embracing their college selves and staying up for the game, go green!

A Chippewa tribal drum circle is the proper way to start a game for a team aligned with the tribe!

When your team is playing at 11pm across the country, spend some time at other schools in your area. All football is good football, y'all! Fire up!

He was 16-24 in less than four seasons. His tenure began and ended with losses to Old Dominion.

Pre-WW2 football hits different. Last one happened in 1941.

David (Spartan) @spartanmello.bsky.social · 25d

We've played around 1280 games all time and have close to 600 unique scores, so probably not super rare, especially in this era with more and more points.

If I get some free time over the next few weeks, I may try and see if I can find the number of Scoragami/season and Scoragami streaks for us!

This ugly win is brought to you by Spartygami! This is the 548th unique score for an MSU football game and the second one in a row.
